so you say to replace 300 lost calories plus my daily maintence and surpulus. how did you figure out the number of 300? do i burn some calories enev during ma rest periods when my heart is still elevated?
Details… nitpicking… details… nitpicking some more…
Yes you do burn kcal because of weightlifting. How much? It will be a raw estimate… does it give a fuck in the whole picture? No.
Do you want to build more lbm? Eat more.
Cbear summed it up nicely. Whhat she meant is a 1000kcal on top of your 2000kcal.

and how many languages do you speak, sir?
to the lady at the top-
3000kcal is a nice round number to aim for at first. whatever # you’re eating now, try increasing that by a couple hundred a week and see how that goes for you. just remember that it takes 3000 EXTRA kcal to build one pound of muscle, and some of that muscle will show up with some water and a lil bit o fat.
if you’re eating healthy (less processed) food compared to junk (more processed) you will gain very little fat because of how you’re lifting.

3000 kcal EXTRA? isn’t it quite a lot? I eat 2000 calories per day now. Also I wanted to ask if I should eat the same amount of calories on workout even nonworkout days.

i dont mean 3000kcal per day.
if you could buy lbs of muscle at the store and pay with kcal, it would cost you 3000.
i would start by going with 2500kcal on non workout days, and 3000kcal on workout days.
if you cant eat that much at first, eat as much as you can, and aim for those numbers. see how your body reacts, and make adjustments as necessary.
You’re 5’11" and 128 pounds and wondering how many calories you’re burning? Why? You should be eating up unless you’re training for the runway.

Ok, thanks a lot, I’m bit afraid of the 3000kcal so I’ll probably start at 2500, but still, I’m grateful for your help responses:)

well because I wanted to eat enough but not too much, I quite like my abs muscles and don’t really want to cover them with a fat:)
Actually, with the “come hither” look, you could be on the runway now.
I think figuring out the question you’re asking just takes personal experimentation. There’s no exact formula because everyone’s different.

that because i want to replace them in order to build muscle, but not to eat excess calories to gain fat, i really like ma abs and do not want to cover them with a layer of fat:)
